How To Cut Video?

In Final Cut Pro, how can you preserve all 16:9 ratio when exporting a video?

• The kind of video file I work with is HDV format with 1080p30 frame rate. It seem whenever I export from Final Cut Pro, using Quicktime Movie in 16:9, the video loses the edges, as if it been cropped out, even though the size and quality are all there. On the Viewer in Final Cut Pro, there are details in the corners being show but when exported, they're gone because the video has been cropped. Does this happen to all videos when they're exported or is there a better way to export and compress the video without losing the edges?

• Answer:

  Well, are you exporting using quicktime movie or quicktime conversion. You should use quicktime movie. check your sequence settings and make sure your settings match the video. Alternatively, you can purposefully mismatch them, then drag the clips onto a new sequence and say yes to "do you want to match the sequence settings with the video settings." Hope that helped
